At an August 2007 meeting, a T11 committee made changes to the encapsulation
protocol for FCoE.  For the latest info, see http://fcoe.com.

The attached patch will update the dissector to handle the new version only.
It is believed that the number of people using the old version is small and
therefore after the change, the dissector doesn't handle the old version at
all.
A patch that handles both versions is available from me
(joe(at)nuovasystems.com).
A new capture file and a screen shot will be posted on the Wiki page once this
is
integrated.
